Stuffed Cinnamon Hawaiian Rolls

My daughter sent me a TikTok of a similar recipe so I looked up a couple of recipes and changed a few things to make it my own. The syrup is optional but not even necessary because they are THAT good (however the powdered sugar topping is a must for the finishing touch)!

STUFFED CINNAMON HAWAIIAN ROLLS

INGREDIENTS

• 24 Hawaiian Rolls

• 8 oz. cream cheese, softened

• 1 cup (+ 1 Tablespoon) butter

• 1 Tablespoon Cinnamon

• 2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar

• 1/2 cup sugar

• 1/2 cup powdered sugar

• 1 egg

• 3 teaspoons vanilla

CINNAMON FILLING (& TOPPING)

• 1 cup of butter, melted

• 1 Tablespoon cinnamon

• 1 teaspoon vanilla

• 2 tablespoons brown sugar

  
  

CREAM CHEESE FILLING

• 8 oz. cream cheese, softened

• 1/2 cup sugar

• 1/2 cup powdered sugar

• 1 egg

• 2 teaspoon vanilla

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and grease a 9 x 13 pan.

2. Melt 1 Tablespoon of butter and spread on the bottom of the pan.

3. Arrange rolls in pan and and make a cross on top of each roll (only cut 2/3 of the way down because the filling will go inside).

4. Melt 1 cup butter, cinnamon, 1 tsp. vanilla and brown sugar and spoon a little of the mixture into each roll.

5. Beat together cream cheese, egg, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1/2 cup of powdered sugar and 2 teaspoons vanilla.

6. Place mixture into each roll (if you don't have a cupcake injector you can use a Ziploc bag and cut a corner to squeeze the mixture inside).

7. Bring remaining melted butter mixture to a boil and immediately pour over the rolls.

8. Bake for 12-15 minutes until rolls are golden brown on top.

9. Sprinkle powdered sugar and syrup on top and enjoy!
